Is the GoPro HERO+ (wifi) a viable option for recording games?

[Andym22]

I don't this version mentioned very often so I was just curious if this is going to be a decent option for recording games. It's the one I can afford right now lol so I hope it is.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, its a must for the camera.

Get the hero 5

The issue with the Hero+ is that the only Field of View (FOV) available is UltraWide. In my opinion, UltraWide is only usable on uber small t-ball fields. For most fields, Medium or Linear (Hero5 only) are best for capturing the entire field without fence in the shot.

Appreciate the response but not sure you understood the question. I am asking specifically about the GoPro Hero+ camera https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015FEFK8W/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1UMDS00LIPO3W&coliid=I3CFDAQMJXQA9S&psc=1

I wouldnt buy that camera. Hero 4+ would be the way to go on the budget. Or if you can find a stellar deal I use the Hero3+ with the Lynkspyder for games

What about a used Hero 4 Silver?

Silvers are great too.

Look for one used, too. You might be able to get a better deal that way. We have the Hero 4 Silver.

The Hero4 Silver is actually still what we officially recommend (only because we have not been able to test the HERO5 in the heat of the summer....since it came out in the cool of the fall). No issues with this camera (4 Silver) other than stability when using WiFi. I recommend turning WiFi off. Other than that, great camera and has 3 different FOV's to choose from.
